Do you expect payment before shipping? I don't want to ship and then be out the money and items.
I’ve done a few deals on here where the buyer pays with a money order. I wait until the check arrives and then ship same day or day after.
I understand. But a guy has to have principles. And seeing as how PayPal has now reinstated their misinformation fine or whatever they're calling it, I refuse to use them ever again.
PayPal has backpeddled on that whole deal. I could give a shit less, I just use it as medium to transfer cash in and out of my bank account
They did backpedal. As of today it is back in the terms of service. Was unannounced.
That I didn’t know
Do as you see fit but if you pay taxes to the state and federal government is that because you agree with all their policies? I do not agree with paypal but I am not going to punish myself for that...I just do not give them the opportunity to take any large amount from me for anything. I heard big banks are now reporting ammo/gun sales if you use their cards....you cut your cards up?
This essentially sums up where I’m at. If it were up to me I wouldn’t be getting 1/3rd of my income or better taken out for state and government taxes that I don’t agree with. If you just use PayPal as a way to transfer money from bank account to bank account and it’s all Friends and Family, you’re not giving up anything to them.
You’d just using PayPal second hand at that point since they own Venmo
It's a fair point. And I do believe the vast majority of taxes are theft. But I can't avoid that without prison, so I guess I'll draw the line there. PayPal will take 2500 out of your account for misinformation or violating terms of service. My understanding is that could be as simple as buying or selling a scope or some brass for instance. I'm just trying to avoid giving my money to someone with those political views and the ability to screw people over like that. As far as the banks and classifying purchases, that's a harder one. It's difficult to see how that will be used against people. Banks won't be able to tell if you spent two grand on guns and ammo or camping and cooking gear at bass pro. So while they can create categories of retailers, it's difficult to see right now how that will be used to flag certain purchases. I'm sure at some point they'll find a way, but for now it seems like it'll be tough to implement. My lgs gives a discount for cash purchases anyway, so I go that route most times. At any rate....looks like I'll have to cut potential buyers down and go the money order route. If anybody has the capital, I've got a heck of a business idea for a financial services company. Lol.
You might be on to something with a financial services company that doesn’t play to the liberal masses
Last time it was supposedly a mistake. They just added it again today. No word on if it was another mistake, but I'm guessing they haven't fined anyone yet. I'm sure there will be lawsuits if they ever do.
